Dates are calculated astronomically from sunrise and sunset in New Delhi. In other cities the tithi timing can occasionally move the festival to another day; confirm with your local panchang or Pandit Ji for the final decision.

Pradosh Vrat — what it is

Pradosh Vrat is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees fast through the day and worship Shiva and Parvati in the evening. A Pradosh on a Monday is called Som Pradosh and on a Saturday Shani Pradosh.

Tithi: Trayodashi of each fortnight, worshipped in the pradosh period around sunset, so twice a month.

Things to keep in mind

The dates show Trayodashi at sunrise, while the puja is in the evening pradosh period. When Trayodashi begins only in the evening or ends before it, the fasting day can differ, so check your local panchang.
